Or maybe the privilege was earned... by Einstein, Edison, Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Yeats, Keats, Shakespeare, Jobs, Buzz Aldrin, Sally Ride, Churchill, Eisenhower, Balanchine, Beethoven, The Beatles, Babe Ruth — and by my father who spent three and a half years in a Japanese prison camp.
Have you read Unbroken, about Louis Zamplolini, who was also held in a Japanese POW camp?
Such a good book, and really inspiring.
Zampolini is still alive, he’s an amazing man.
